What are the advantages for companies to moving from paper to e-billing?


Paper production is an enormous consumer of water, massive producer of greenhouse gases and it contributes significantly to loss of biodiversity. So why not use ebills? Apart from the positive environmental impacts, there is also the cost savings (it is far cheaper to email a bill than to send it in the post because of stamp cost for example). Furthermore, if your bills are delivered electronically, you can include very tailored marketing campaigns for either your own company or partner companies. If you use HTML, you could receive very detailed metrics on your campaign in realtime and even modify it in response to feedback, if necessary. You could, in effect turn the billing process into a line-of-business or revenue generator in its own right. I think companies should really take these positive impacts to mind, it's for their benefit as well as the environments.

LOVELY as a TREE

INK AND SOLVENTSreducing volatile organic compounds and switch to inks made with vegetable oil rather than mineral oil
PAPER- post consumer used paper or paper from the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified plantations.
WHY- It uses less energy and creates fewer emissions than virgin paper.  It reduces the amount of waste paper going to landfill (as well as methane in the environment, the greenhouse gas). It is the only way to be sure that your paper hasn't had a detrimental effect on any forest environment 
ENERGY- renewable energy generated from hydroelectric and wind power
PRINTING-  digital imaging, to give clients a short-run, low-cost alternative to high end litho print. The new service included digital colour printing on both coated and uncoated 100% recycled papers.
